PEACE ACTIVISTS DEMONSTRATE AT FT. HARRISON
Almost 350 Indiana peace activists rallied and
marched for a peaceful solution to the Persian Gulf
crisis, at Fort Benjamin Harrison on Sunday, October
21. This highly successful and highly visible action
was organized by the Indianapolis Peace Center's
Middle East Task Force, an ad hoc group that is
working very intensely to build public opposition to
the U.S. military buildup and war posturing in the
Middle East.
Under the theme "No Blood for Oil," the
protesters pressed their demands for a withdrawal of
U.S. troops, against any U.S. invasion of Kuwait or
Iraq, using the military funds to meet human needs
here at home, and for the accelerated development of a
sane national energy policy.
The Indiana demonstration coincided with a
weekend of anti-war demonstrations in over 18 major
cities across the country, and certainly helped to raise
the level of public debate about the Bush
adminstration's bellicose policies in the Gulf. The
Fort Harrison action was preceded by about four days
of pre-demonstration media attention in both the
Indianapolis Star and News, local television stations
and several radio stations.
On the day of the demonstration, a cloudy and
chilly Sunday, citizens began arriving at the rally site
from Indianapolis, Richmond, Bloomington, Muncie,
Lafayette, South Bend, Kokomo, Fort Wayne,
Evansville, and dozens of smaller communities
throughout Indiana.
The activists heard inspiring words from a broad
range of speakers including two veterans, a
Palestinian exile, a Church of the Brethren minister,
high school and college students, an African-
American political activist, a Muslim minister, and a
labor leader from Nicaragua.
